Confirmed Signing James Rodriguez

[blueblue]

I'd be really excited if this was 2014.

But it's not. It's 2020.

What's next, signing Aguero in 2028?

I am not sure what age you thi Rodriguez is but the correct answer is 29.

All signings are a risk and signing from abroad even more so but if he is signed then it is at an age where a player should be at the very peak of his career.
Not sure why you would use Aguero in your piece as he is already five years older than JR

They don't learn do they?

If they amortise his age then offer him a new contract extension, he’ll be 25 by the end of it all.

Not that I disagree with your point, but Aguero is 32...

The remaining fee is amortized over the remaining (new) contract term

This, in Keane case the remaining 9.7 mill in amortisation will be spread now over 5 years rather then 2.

His amort is now 1.94 mill a season, instead of 4.94 mill.

Leighton? Think there's a fair chance we could sign him.

(Soz - you have to be of a certain age....).

Go on then i'll own up.....A Welsh wizard who played for Burnley, Yes??? ;o))))

Leighton James
or
James (Jim) Leighton?

Either at their (admittedly modest) peaks, would be ok.

I remember when Everton signed an oder player who was injury prone one Mr Andy Gray. He turned out OK and was what we needed at that point in time, Rodriguez could be the same so I'm not too concerned about his injury record or age.

Weird this mate.

Win the league, after our worst year in 15 years, and you're lurking on an Everton site looking for bites.

Rent Free, Rent Free.

Age isn't really the issue.

The gripe is we're signing an injury prone player who hasn't hit top form in 4 years.

Owen wasn't old when he was 27 but his best day's were clearly behind him. James feels the same though obviously he's still at a good level he definitely isn't in his prime despite "only" being 29.

I think i read hes been involved in a goal every 102 minutes over the last 4 or 5 years.

So I'm looking forward to him finding form.....

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

I just read these threads for the laughs personally.
Lads spend all day posting contract breakdowns, amortisation of said contracts over extensions to contract etc etc etc then they go in the Brands thread and call him clueless. Absolute fruitcakes the lot of them.

I blame Esk for it all

Why can I only like this once?

Haha. I've been an Evertonian longer than you've been alive. You're just in denial about me talking sense.

Sure you have!

Good on you. Denial about signing a player who will improve us. Okay mate lol
